The Assad family had been head of Syria&rsquo;s government for over 50 years and fled only 13 days after Syrian rebels began their offensive.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, ousted Syrian President Bashar Assad and his family fled to Russia after President Vladimir Putin granted them asylum. However, it&rsquo;s believed a handful of Americans remain in the region, including freelance journalist Austin Tice, who has been in the nation for 12 years. Whether these rebels will be friendly with the hostages remains to be seen, but Boehler suggested it is in the rebels&rsquo; best interest to be friendly to Americans.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I think now is the time to get our hostages. Hope is there. And I think to the rebels: if they want to say they are a real country, that they are not Islamic extremists, then they should turn over our people,&rdquo; Boehler said on Fox News&rsquo;s <em>Fox and Friends<\/em>. &ldquo;They should find them and turn them over, and it would be a very strong gesture of friendship to the United States.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 640px; max-height: 360px; min-width: 320px; min-height: 180px; overflow: hidden;\">\n<div style=\"position: relative; width: 100%; padding-top: 56.25%;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/share.grabien.com\/share.php?id=2720268&amp;userid=11311&amp;loginid=10455&amp;playercolor=%23000000&amp;playersize=auto&amp;code=6d498a872df6f8aa50a8ed6b34d298e2\" style=\"position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%; border: 0px;\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Boehler is best known for his role as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/opinion\/2587225\/did-hamas-just-prove-the-abraham-accords-right\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Abraham Accords&nbsp;<\/a>negotiator during Trump&rsquo;s first term.
